According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), 65 year-old Joyce J. Siegel of Dunedin was traveling southbound in a 2006 Kia Spectra on US-19 in the outside lane.  A Publix tractor trailer driven by Corey Ciralsky of Winter Haven was stopped for traffic on US-19 also in the outside lane. Siegel failed to stop as she approached the rear of the tractor trailer resulting in the collision.
Due to the extent of her injuries, a request was made to check on availability of an air transport unit.  She was transported to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg with critical injuries according to FHP.  Ciralsky was evaluated with minor injuries at the scene.
Alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the crash and charges are listed as pending according to FHP.
